Go to Exercise page

Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Document type declaration for HTML5 -->
<html><!-- Start of HTML document -->
<head><!-- Start of head section -->
<meta charset="utf-8"><!-- Metadata for specifying character encoding -->
<title>Example of an embed element</title><!-- Title of the HTML document -->
</head><!-- End of head section -->
<body><!-- Start of body section -->
<embed type="video/mp4" src="https://www.w3resource.com/w3r_videos/pop.mp4"><!-- Embedding a video using the embed element -->
</body><!-- End of body section -->
</html><!-- End of HTML document -->

Explanation:

  • The document starts with the doctype declaration specifying that it is an HTML5 document.
  • Inside the <html> tags, the HTML document structure begins.
  • The <head> section contains metadata about the document, including the character encoding specified using the meta tag and the title of the document.
  • The <body> section is where the visible content of the webpage resides.
  • The <embed> element is used to embed external content such as multimedia files (in this case, a video).
  • The type attribute specifies the MIME type of the embedded content, in this case, a video in MP4 format.
  • The src attribute specifies the URL of the video file to be embedded.
  • The HTML document ends with the closing </html> tag.
